While growing up in a town on the Jersey shore, I was exposed to a world filled with chrome, flashing colors and checkered flags. It was a life of fast machines such as drag cars, powerboats and motorcycles combined with the bliss of the seaside. They were and remain subjects looked upon with marvel. The intense stimulus produced by these cultures provides a platform for creativity.

Now, I look at elements of these environments, extract certain qualities and transfer them to works. It could be the glimmer of a supercharged engine, the fun and absurdity of boardwalk games, or even the curves of a sexy body lying on the beach that trigger inspiration. I try to evoke an ambiance. It's an ongoing investigation of attraction.
